It treats all kinds of swellings under the term `abscess` and describes neoplasma of the genital organs and sarcomata of bones. Tumours of the breast are classified into four groups, the section devoted to them being one of the most important in the book. This was also the first book to include illustrations of lesions with the text` (G-M 2273: 1st edition, 1632). The book`s twenty plates are among the first to depict pathological lesions and to include diseased organs as well as complete views of the individual with the tumor. He includes all manner of tumors and swellings under the term `abscessus` and describes their surgical treatment in detail. In the chapter on breast neoplasms he delineates four types and differentiates quite clearly between the concept of benign and malignant tumors` (Heirs of Hippocrates 449); Waller 8890. (1)

He obtained his medical degree in 1769, and immediately began his studies into the effects of diet. His first experiment involved a diet of just bread and water with a little sugar for the duration of 31 days, after which he slowly introduced other foods one at a time, including olive oil, milk, roast goose, boiled beef, fat, figs, and veal. Stark recorded that after two months his gums were red and swollen and prone to bleeding; he had given himself scurvy which led to his early death at the age of twenty-nine whilst he was still in the throes of his experiments. This scarce work was one of the first on dietary studies. Blake, p. 431. 2) G-M 309. (1)

Second folio edition of the most important anatomical treatise of the sixteenth century and a watershed work in the history of anatomical illustration. Adams V605; Choulant-Frank pp.181-182; Cushing, Vesalius VI.A.-3; G-M 377; Durling 4579; Norman 2139; Osler 568; PMM 71 (describing the 1543 first folio edition); Waller 9901; Wellcome 6562. Heirs of Hippocrates 283: In 1552, a small `pocket` edition of the Fabrica was pirated in Lyons but, as it had no illustrations, it was neither popular nor profitable. For that matter, neither the first nor the second splendid folio edition was profitable, either, and the printer, Oporinus, suffered losses on both. By the time of this second folio edition, the plates from the first edition had been copied in England and throughout Europe, and the prospect for sale of a new edition must have been considerably lessened. Even so, the new edition was even more lavish than the first, with heavier paper and larger type, necessitating an entire recutting of the initial letters. Corrections were made in the text by Vesalius with some rearrangement of both the text and the illustrations. The woodcut title-page has always created much interest. It carries considerable dramatic impact and probably fairly represents, with some theatrical touches, an `anatomy` of the sixteenth century. The block for the second edition was entirely recut and, although it closely resembles that of the first edition, there are a few changes. The unclothed man of the first edition, observing from his perch at the left, is clothed in the second edition, `for no other reason that one can see,` comments Cushing, `unless to save the nun`s embarrassment by clothing the naked figure` (Cushing Vesalius, p. 90). The wood blocks were cut in Venice and transported by mule across the Alps to Basel, where Oporinus - artist, printer, and friend of Vesalius - received them with detailed instructions from the author.` Provenance note: An identically dated ownership signature of Guilielmus (Guilielmi) de Mesa appears in the National Library of Medicine`s copy of Estienne`s De dissectione partium corporis humani libri tres (1545).

Vicq D`Azyr (Felix). Traite d`anatomie et de physiologie, avec des planches coloriees representant au naturel les divers organes de l`homme et des animaux, volume 1 [all published], 1st edition, Paris, 1786, 69 plates, consisting of 34 hand-coloured aquatint plates, 34 number-keyed line engraved plates and a single engraved plate (no. XVIII), by and after Alexandre Briceau, bound without half-title and allegorical frontispiece, some occasional marginal light spotting and dampstains, modern green morocco-backed boards, folio. The most accurate neuroanatomical work produced before the advent of microscopic staining techniques. Vicq d`Azyr identified accurately for the first time many cerebral convolutions, along with various internal structures of the brain. This was the first volume of an ambitious study of anatomy and physiology which remained unfinished at Vicq d`Azyr`s premature death.` (G-M 401.2). Felix Vic d`Azyr (1746-94) was the last physician to Marie-Antionette and Perpetual Secretary of the Societe Royale de Medecine. As an anatomist he pioneered the use of alcohol in brain dissection and described the band of Vicq d`Azyr in the cerebral cortex and the mammillothalamic bundle. The aquatint plates `created a sensation at the time` according to Brunet, the work unfinished due to Vicq d`Azyr`s death in 1794 during the Terror. Brunet V, 1176; Norman 2150; Waller 9953. (1)

White was the first to state clearly in a text on midwifery the necessity of absolute cleanliness in the lying-in chamber, the isolation of infected patients, and adequate ventilation. He instituted the principle of uterine drainage, placing his patients in a sitting position shortly after delivery using a special bed and chair. White was also the first after Hippocrates to make any substantial contributions towards the solution of the aetiology and management of puerperal fever` (G-M 6270). He co-founded the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 1752 (along with local industrialist Joseph Bancroft) and was a firm believer in polgenism. Waller 10268. (3)

Willis, Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy at Oxford University, was dissatisfied with existing accounts of the brain, and so conducted brain dissections himself, with the aid of his students Christopher Wren, Richard Lower and Thomas Millington (an early recorded instance of collaborative scientific research).

Willis gave one of the most extensive accounts of the whole field of mental illness which had appeared up to that time. He attributed `melancholy` or affective psychosis to `passions of the heart`; and `madness` or psychosis accompanied by thought disorder, delusions or hallucinations - that is schizophrenia - to `vice or fault of the Brain`. He recognised the difference between the symptoms of gross brain disease and those of mental illness in which he accounted for the absence of pathological findings by postulating a disturbance of the brain and nerves in terms of disordered `Animal Spirits`. For this reason he is often credited with having first equated mind disease with brain disease` (Hunter & Macalpine, p. 188). (1)

Adams C2252. Johann Dobneck, known as Johannes Cochlaeus (1479-1552) was a German humanist and contraversialist, born at Wendelstein, near Nuremberg. He studied in Italy, taking his doctor’s degree at Ferrara in 1517, and was ordained a priest in Rome. He became Dean of the Liebfrauenkirche at Frankfurt in 1520, and was present at the diets of Worms, Regensburg, Speyer and Augsburg, during which period he established his opposition to Luther. Cochlaeus was responsible in large part for the flight of William Tyndale from Cologne where he had been preparing the first edition in English of the New Testament, to Worms, where he finally succeeded in issuing the work in 1525. One of the principal accounts of this episode is given in Cochlaeus’ biography of Luther in the present work (pages 132-135). (1)
